Question about contrasts and correlation #11

Description

Hi, thanks for being willing to help with my question from:
https://twitter.com/rg9119/status/1487179286532349952

Here an attempt at Python code to generate a synthetic dataset of height,sex entries from correlated parameters (my impression is you know Python, so hope that's ok!). Based on p. 155 of the book (though partly inspired by Lecture 4 of this term's course.

I'm trying to understand the word of warning from:

as regards computing contrasts (and plotting their density) when using categorical variables for sex.

I hope my confusion hasn't overcomplicated my question.
